[Characteristics of monoclonal antibody binding with the C domain of human angiotensin converting enzyme].

Binding of a panel of eight monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with the C domain of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to human testicular ACE (tACE) (corresponding to the C domain of the somatic enzyme) was studied and the inhibition of the enzyme by the mAb 4E3 was found. The dissociation constants of complexes of two mAbs, IB8 and 2H9, with tACE were 2.3 +/- 0.
